FINE and mild conditions helped to make this event enjoyable for 79 runners and 12 walkers. My thanks to all helpers, especially Bob and Sue who collected the flags. Things ran smoothly on the day. Steve Dunn won the 4km and Peter Sullivan ran strongly to win the 8km. It was sad to recall that this course was designed by Brian Foley. He is missed very much by club members.

Irwin BarrettLennard M75 41:05 A slightly longer course gave runners Paul Martin M65 42:17 an 8km and (2 lap) 16km option, whilst Jeanette Tiverios W45 42:31 walkers had a 5km; or an 8km option, John Brambley M65 42:52 following the runners. However, some Jacqui Halberg W60 42:57 chose a 2 lap, 10km option. The first loop V1 43:41 down and around UWA and back was Roger Walsh M60 43:44 relatively flat but the 3.5 km loop V3 44:19 through the park involved a long slow Joe Stickles M65 44:30 grind up to the DNA tower followed by Terry Manford M65 44:37 a long run down the Broadwalk through Lee Holliday M50 44:40 the long grass. Mike Anderson M55 46:03 Unfortunately some track markers V4 46:33 near the toilet block near the DNA tower Michael Faunge M65 48:27 went missing overnight causing some Wendy ClementsGreen W60 48:28 confusion to lead runners, but common Mike Polkinghorne M55 48:30 sense prevailed and no extra distance Doug Hazell M50 48:46 was involved to those that followed the Ken Whistler M75 49:47 road to the tower.

Lyle’s after-race comments are often Maggie Flanders W70 45:53 8K WALK unrepeatable; but this year he would have Beryle Doust W55 60:30 Ray Hall M70 60:36 been happy with his collection of M65 Jill Midolo W55 60:31 Helen Lysaght W50 80:40 medals!

IT was a long weekend, with a number of regulars down at Dwellingup, so only around 80 ran or walked. Cool and breezy conditions meant a pleasant trip around the lake, with Brett Roach lead- ing the way in the three-lap race.
